According to MarketWatch, the porn industry is a key frontier to take virtual reality to the mainstream consumer market. Pornography and adult entertainment would rank high as a key driving force for any new technologies and virtual reality porn to be acceptable and adopted by first generation of VR headset owners and early adopters, which presumably, are mostly males.

There is no need to argue that males tend to be more willing and eager to try out new technology, and most males watch porn. According to research, pornography-related webpages dominate and occupied between 37%- 41% of existing webpages on the web!

Juniper also predicts that the number is going to skyrocket up to 193 billion by 2020. Here is a quick rough guide of VR porn content producers and interactive sex manufacturers around the world.

New Virtual Reality Porn Startups & Services

VR porn as a new adult industry sector is still in its infant stage. Currently there are a handful of virtual reality adult content production companies. These virtual adult content pioneers have the market advantage. They were the first wave of adult entertainment content producers and companies to release VR titles and continue to improve and expand those offerings. The remainder of the industry is now playing catch-up, but there are companies out there with a lot of money that will likely make some big moves into the VR world very soon. Below virtual porn producers and VR sex toy makers are among the best in the industry. Check them out!

VR Porn Service Providers

The virtual reality industry is experiencing an emergence of start-ups and new companies focussing on the production of high-tech and interactive sex toys that seek to embellish the experiences of virtual reality porn viewers. These companies have partnered with 360 adult porn companies to manufacture sex toys that synchronize with adult content. Some of the gadgets and toys that rank highest among consumers and have recorded the highest sales include Robotic Blow’s AutoBlow2 and Kiiroo.

On a global scale, each smartphone user of adult content is expected to watch an average of 348 videos this year! Um…. Nearly one porn video view for each day? We would like to ask, gentlemen, just how horny are you? 136 billion porn videos views? Holy Cow… We can't imagine how much money are involved, or profits to be made from these views…

By the year of 2025, porn and adult content are estimated to become a $1 billion per year business, ranking as the third largest sector in the virtual reality industry, right behind entertainment and games. Just imagine the cellphone or smartphone industry from 10-15 years ago, that's where virtual reality industry is now.

The relationship between adult film and virtual reality will likely be mutually beneficial for the top players — with pornography bolstering the sales and use of headsets, and subscriptions giving the porn industry a much-desired new revenue stream, said Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.

The VR porn industry will grow into a gigantic adult entertainment sector, there is no surprise that film makers, sex toy makers, robot builders and hi-tech gadget makers are all entering the competition. Competing and racing with one another to create the most addictive VR porn experience.

“There are many things to change in the shooting regarding the actor and actress positions, distances to the cameras, poses, etc…” ( via Market Watch )

VR adult film, gadget or sex toy makers that are able to produce the most realistic and immersive experience will prevail, whether it's a fully immersive adult film being viewed on the most advanced VR headset that's about to launch in the years to come, augmented reality goggles that allows you to interact with characters, a hands-free sex toy, or a realistic-doll-like simulator that simulates the movements of interactive virtual characters with haptic feedback and more…. People will buy them, period.

Upon my research, I subscribed 360 VR porn services available on today's market, and let me tell you, they are quite realistic and they are improving at a rapid speed! I was watching on a Oculus DK2, the bulky prototype that will soon be outdated when Oculus CV1 launches in 2016. We can expect a more immersive VR porn viewing experience with better designed headset next year.

In another words, the VR porn content is almost ready, it's getting there. As for all VR experience to be truly convincing and immersive, we need a simulator or simulation of some kind. And guess what? The following sex toy makers, simulator developers have got it covered.

Teledildonics For Virtual Reality Porn

Enter the world of teledildonics, by Wikipedia's definition, teledildonics, also known as “cyberdildonics”, are electronic sex toys that can be controlled by a computer to enable the human user to reach orgasm. In its original conception, this technology was to be used for remote sex (or, at least, remote mutual masturbation), where the physical sensations of touch could be transmitted over a data link between the participants.

“Teledildonics” can also refer to the integration of telepresence with sexual activity that these toys make possible. Simply put, they are wireless or USB based sex toys that sync with virtual reality content!

This is Max!

Max and Nora are designed to be compatible with VR headsets such as Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift, and connection to mobile device wirelessly via bluetooth. Max and Nora can now sync with particular Virtual Real Porn's porn actor or actress, and are able to sync with their movements accordingly.

KIIROO – VR Sex Toy For Couple – Made In Amsterdam With LOVE

Situated in Amsterdam, KIIROO was founded in 2013. KIIROO, an innovative tech company, has developed a unique technology to get intimate online; through a social platform, mobile app and a set of interactive toys. Although technology and social interaction are evolving, it lacks the possibility of physical interaction. Based on this insight, Kiiroo has developed a highly personal social network platform and devices that make real sensation possible in the virtual world or virtual reality environment.

Kiiroo has created a set of devices for both men and women, and couples who want to pursue their online relationship and take it to the next level. These devices enable both men and women to experience real-time physical interaction. They give you an opportunity to express your feelings from wherever, whenever.

KIIROO – Made For Lovers To Have Virtual Sex Anytime and Anywhere

Using Bluetooth and video chat, they connect users worldwide, instantly. The platform is also available on mobile. Go to either the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google App Store (Android). Search for “App of Things” and you can download the App.

Kiiroo devices are beyond traditional sexual intimacy products. Like lovers do, Kiiroo sex toys for virtual reality communicate with each other to create a highly interactive, responsive and uniquely sensual sexual experience. Pearl is a luxury G-spot vibrator; Onyx is the next generation of male masturbators, complete with a Fleshlight sleeve inside. When any two KIIROO devices are used together online, they simulate physical intimacy. Because of KIIROO, you can now touch your lover or partner from anywhere in the world.

Lovense sex toys are the result of five years of extensive research, development. In 2009, the founder of the company was in a long distance relationship. Lack of sexual intimacy was a serious pain point in the relationship and sparked an interest in teledildonics.

The following year, Remote Pleasure was born. It was a revolutionary remote control vibrator which used Skype to control it from a distance- one of the first of its kind. It pleased thousands of couples all over the world.

First released in late 2013, Max and Nora were the first truly interactive, and app-based, sex tech toys of its kind. Nora was the first bluetooth rabbit vibrator and Max was the first bluetooth masturbator creator for men.

“This was an unexpected partnership, but we believe it is a positive development for Lovense, our focus is to use sex tech products to solve problems for consumers, but when they approached us, we immediately saw the potential. They are the top virtual porn content producers, and we are a leading teledildonics company, so the partnership felt natural. We are both pioneers in our respective industries.” Dan Liu, Lovense Founder ( via VR Porn List )

“To be honest, we are surprised at the response we’ve gotten, we see a growing interest among consumers and businesses in connecting sex toys with porn, and lots of money to be made.” Eddy Olivares from Lovense
